My continuing air filter nightmare

[R. Yates]

Mostly a bitch post at this point. I replaced an air filter that was allegedly causing the engine light to come on. I put a Mopar filter in and the engine light stayed on and now the dealer is telling me that the filter can't have glue strips. The one I took out had no glue strips and worked fine for 16k + miles until they changed my fuel pump to the Cp3. They said the latest factory filter has no glue strips and the one I bought has been discontinued....arrgh. I'm still skeptical of the whole thing.

What fault code do you have?

 

[AH64ID]

Well not all true…. The one with glue strips is the new one, but there is a Ram “Tech Tip” that states the 19+ CTD’s should use the older filter without glue strips.

You want the older 53034051AB for your truck. It shouldn’t throw codes.

 

[R. Yates]

I don't know what the code is. I assume they know what the codes are telling them.

What fault code do you have?

 

[R. Yates]

Thanks, I'm waiting for them to give me the "right" part #. I'm thinking I might just ignore the light. The whole thing is ridiculous.

53034051AB is the proper filter per the STAR tip and general consensus.

6.7 Engine Air Filter Confusion

Wondering if someone can shed some light on this issue. I’m being given conflicting information regarding the engine air filters for these trucks. My dealer parts counter, as well as the service techs are telling me that engine air filter # 68517554AA is the correct engine filter for my 2022...

With these computertrucks, everyone will have plenty of lights to ignore eventually

There's been several posts that the new trucks are shipping with the 53034051AB filter

Thanks for the reply. That's the filter that my dealer told me was an aftermarket filter. I'm sure they never looked at it. Something is not right. I'm going to have them install what they think is the right filter and get out of the middle of it. I'm also going to start looking at gas engine trucks, this is BS. DPF problems, air filter problems, DEF problems, can't drive short trips, it's ridiculous.

I just had to pay $450 for the same issue, according to the dealer, the NAPA air filter I installed was said to have glue strips and caused a low boost code. Wasn't sure if this was a real issue or they want you to buy just their filters.

A few days ago there was a post, can't remember what forum, that the Napa Gold 6930 is like the Mopar white filter. Not to be used in the 2019+. I don't know what color it is but it was previously reported to be ok for 2019+. The confusion made me take it off of my list.
This is my list:
Mopar AF53034051AB
Fleetguard AF27684 (Same as Wix per forum post)
Fram Extra Guard Air Filter CA10261 (made by Cummins per forum post)

I looked on my service report and they installed the AA filter, does it have glue strips as well?

I don't know. I only know to not use the 68517554AA (white) as it is the pre-2019 filter.

My dealer claims there is a new version of the .........AA filter, and that's what they used on my truck. (2020)

I'd bet a nickel your dealer used a Mopar AF53034051AB

I was tempted to look at it, but they're not that easy to get to either.

The part number should be listed on the dealer's invoice/receipt

Thanks for the info!

Too much airflow, check engine light. Not enough airflow, check engine light.
